oh? but me what? Lin Wanrong couldn't help but gasped, what did Xu mean, was there something in his words? It's okay for you to hit me, but the point is that your girl is not on the right track with me now.
Seeing Xu Wei and Lin San talking, and seeing Miss Xu's miserable face, the eldest lady took her hand and said, "Sister Xu, Miss Su, Lin San has a bad mouth. Let's not listen to his nonsense. Let's go, Let's go in, I have something good for you."
Lin Wanrong knew that the eldest lady was going to send out the perfume, so she couldn't help laughing twice. The eldest lady blushed, glared at him, took the account book, and led the two women into the inner courtyard.
"Brother Lin, brother Lin, did you hear me talking to you?" Xu Wei's voice sounded in his ear.
"Ah, haha, I heard it, I heard it, that--" He said haha: "Mr. Xu, let's talk about these things later. Take a look at this portrait first, do you know this woman?"
He took out a portrait from his arms and handed it to Xu Wei. Old Xu took the portrait. He saw that the brushwork was unique and the edges and corners were simple. It depicted a fairy-like woman with stunning demeanor and appearance. He looked carefully for a while, then frowned and said, "I seem to have some impressions, but I can't tell where I saw it."
Lin Wanrong was overjoyed, grabbed his arm and said, "Mr. Xu think about it again, did you see him in the palace?"
Xu Wei shook his head and said, "It just looks like I have an impression. As for whether I have seen it, I'm not sure."
Lin Wanrong said: "Then Mr. Xu, have you ever met the second princess of the current emperor?"
Xu Wei smiled wryly and said, "Second princess? I met her when she was young. For more than ten years, she has lived in seclusion and kept a low profile. The only person who has ever met her is the emperor. I know the eldest princess very well, but The eldest princess and the second princess have not met a few times, alas, this involves a secret incident when the emperor ascended the throne, so don't mention it."
Lin Wanrong said: "Then Mr. Xu, let's take a look again. Does this young lady look like the princess or the emperor?"
Xu Wei glanced at it and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, you ask me so many things, could it be that the second princess is in your painting?"
Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "I don't know too well, I just have some doubts. If this is really the second princess, then she should have some resemblance to the emperor or the eldest princess."
Xu Wei shook his head and said: "A person's appearance is taken from his parents, but it is also very different from his parents. It is too biased to judge blood relationship based on appearance alone. This is especially true for royal blood relatives. Princesses of all dynasties. Ugly people, why is this? Because as an emperor, he has a majestic temperament, and his appearance will never be too bad, and as a concubine, he is even more beautiful, so the princesses born combine the advantages of their parents. Most of them are beautiful Abnormal, because the majesty of the emperor is not suitable for women, so most of these princesses inherited their mother's appearance, let's say the eldest princess, she inherited her mother's appearance, and the second princess is also the same. The princesses are half-sisters, and it is quite normal that they do not resemble each other."
Lin Wanrong was immediately disappointed. If Qingxuan looked like the eldest princess or the emperor, it would be easier to judge, but Lao Xu made a statement that "the royal princess looks like her mother". It seems that it is really difficult to know Qingxuan's identity based on her appearance alone. Is it really necessary to make more contributions and wait for the emperor to open his mouth and invite Lao Tzu into the inner palace
Seeing that he couldn't find a breakthrough from Lao Xu, Lin Wanrong felt quite helpless, Qingxuan, Qingxuan, are you a princess
The two of them chatted some gossip again. Lin Wanrong talked to him about the matter of joining the army. Sometimes he said that the frontier is so far away, and sometimes he said that our army is so powerful. After talking for a long time, I didn't know whether he wanted to go or didn't want to go. There is no way for the first bachelor to meet the first slicker.
When Lin Wanrong and Old Xu entered the inner courtyard, they saw Su Qinglian and Xu Zhiqing holding a bottle of perfume and curiously playing with it. Miss Xu's complexion seemed much better, and she applied some perfume on her crystal-like wrist , sniffed it lightly, and said with a gleam of joy on his face: "Sure enough, it is fragrant but not strong, flattering but not vulgar, good sister, this is really a good thing, I like it very much, is there any more, I want to have it again A vase of orchids."
Khan, I have a bottle of roses in my hand, and I want another bottle of orchids. Which tone does this girl like? Is it sometimes pure and sometimes coquettish? Odd women really have different tastes, very similar to mine.
Su Qing smiled and said: "Zhiqing, you can't grab this perfume in Hangzhou. The price has doubled. Such a small bottle has been sold for three hundred taels of silver. The ladies in Beijing have already started to buy it. It has been spread, but the quantity is too small, and very few people know about it, and everyone cherishes it with their brooms. Just by opening your mouth, it is another few hundred taels of silver."
Xu Zhiqing smiled and said: "Auntie, I naturally know. The first time I met Sister Yuruo, she was so generous. If I don't ask for another bottle, it would be a loss. Besides, Sister Yuruo is also a smart person. She asked us to do publicity for her."
Seeing that a noble woman like Xu Zhiqing loves this perfume, the eldest lady is naturally full of joy, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll give sister Xu and Miss Su a bottle of orchids each, this is brewed by Lin San's secret method. There is nowhere else to be found.”
Ms. Xu glanced at Lin San, and gave a faint oh. Lin Wanrong rubbed his nose and thought, I thought you would return these two bottles to the eldest lady after hearing that it was my perfume. According to the black market price, this is six hundred taels of silver.
While thinking about it, she saw Xu Zhiqing slowly walking over with the eldest lady's account book, "Master Lin, I have something to ask."
When Xu Wei saw his daughter talking to Lin San, he immediately laughed and said, "You two are both very knowledgeable, you should talk more, miss, I'm staying at your mansion today, I want a glass of water and wine, Qing Lian, go I got the qin, and I am in a very good mood today, let's sing a little song and have fun with the eldest lady Lin Xiaoxiong—”
Damn, when I talk to your daughter, you will be singing and dancing, drinking and eating, and I will be the one who contributes and you will enjoy it. Is there any reason? Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Ah, Ms. Xu, do you want me to ask you? Later, I also want to listen to Ms. Su playing the piano. Well, speaking of it, I also like to talk about love, but it's just not good. , didn’t talk much about it.”
Xu Zhiqing nodded lightly and said, "I originally wanted to ask Mr. Lin about Arabic numerals, but since you don't have time, then forget it."
Lin Wanrong was shocked and said, "Do you know Arabic numerals?"
A cunning light flashed in Xu Zhiqing's eyes, she said with a smile: "Let's listen to Aunt Su playing the piano first, Mr. Lin likes it a lot?"
Damn, this girl is purely for revenge, I will have a relationship with you today, he said with a smile: "If that's the case, let's forget it—oh, I wanted to discuss the calculation method of Arabic numerals with Miss Xu—oh Let's talk about love, let's talk about love!"
Both of them have ulterior motives in their hearts, and they are competing secretly, the competition is patience, to see who will surrender first.
After walking a few steps, Lin Wanrong remembered that he wanted to spread Arabic numerals in the world. Although this is a foundation, if it is done well, it will definitely benefit the country and the people. Maybe Dahua will catch up with Europe from now on. start
I don't know how to make cannons, and I don't want to make gunpowder, but if I pass on the foundation of mathematics and Neo-Confucianism, it will benefit future generations, that's all, that's all, I'll do this unsung hero. Xu Zhiqing has perseverance and perseverance, and knows the Arabic numerals, so why should I delay this opportunity for the sake of fighting spirit.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and said seriously: "Miss Xu, I won't be angry with you anymore, let's have a good talk, no matter what you think of me, whether I'm talking nonsense or I'm ignorant, I want to say , this Arabic numerals and the calculation method based on this time is an extremely great invention, without it, the Westerners would not be as powerful. If you master it, Dahua may be a brand new era."
Seeing that his expression was extremely serious, Xu Zhiqing seemed to be a different person from the angry youth just now, and couldn't help but sighed: "You change as you say, these Arabic numerals were introduced by Westerners, and there used to be numbers on the coast. Records, I also saw some records in the miscellaneous books translated by the missionaries of York. Today, I saw that you used Arabic numerals for counting in the account book of the eldest lady. I was curious, so I asked the question last time. Is it as powerful as you said?"
"It's not that bad, I say it doesn't matter, how about this, you come up with an arithmetic problem, let's do the calculation together, and prove it with facts." Lin Wanrong said.
This is indeed fair, Xu Zhiqing nodded, thought for a while and said: "Then let me come up with a question. There are ten squares on a five-by-two chessboard. The first square puts one tael of silver, the second square puts two taels of silver, and the third square puts two taels of silver. Put four taels in each grid, and so on, how many taels of silver are needed to fill all ten grids?"
See Miss Xu counting with pen and paper. Lin Wanrong did some calculations in his mind, and said with a smile, "Never mind, one thousand and twenty-three taels."
This question was created by himself, he must not be able to cheat, Miss Xu said in surprise: "How did you calculate it? Could it be that this is the calculation of Arabic numerals?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "I can't tell you now, after you learn how to use Arabic numerals, you can deduce these formulas yourself, Miss Xu, you have a lot of knowledge, can you tell me, do you find the calculation method you are currently using convenient?" ?”
Xu Zhiqing thought for a while and said: "I didn't think it was complicated before, but I just saw you and it counted. It seems that I have to reconsider this issue."
Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "Let me tell you, whether it is astronomical calendar or engineering calculation, the Arabic numerals are the most useful means of calculation. If you want to learn, I will teach you this set. I don't expect You can remember my good, I just hope that you have learned these well, and then teach them, so that more people who are interested in mathematics and engineering can join in, and everyone will brainstorm to carry forward this mathematics. If possible, weave them into With these, I am satisfied—you see what I do, do you think I am great? Let me tell you, don’t engage in personality cult, I’m afraid something will go wrong.”
Xu Zhiqing shook her head and smiled, "You man, I just thought you were a bit serious, but you have changed again. I remember everything you said. In fact, this is what I have been doing." ]
Lin Wanrong was determined to pass on this calculation method to the present. Facing Xu Zhiqing, a student, he explained it very meticulously. Unfortunately, he had never been a teacher. When he talked about elementary school mathematics, he also felt a little bit of a feeling that he didn't know how to work hard. Fortunately, Talking is his forte, so-so, but it's okay.
This Xu Zhiqing is really very intelligent, she is already familiar with these Arabic numerals. Lin Wanrong only explained the four arithmetic operations once, and she understood, which made Lin Wanrong click her tongue secretly—this girl is much smarter than when I was in elementary school.
Seeing that she is so eager to learn, Lin Wanrong simply did not do anything, and taught her all the exponential calculations, regardless of whether she understood it or not, I will talk about it first. Study slowly after class.
After talking for half an hour, Lin Wanrong's tongue was dry. Then Xu Zhiqing sighed: "These Arabic numerals are really exquisite. With these counting methods, my Dahua craftsmanship will definitely go a step further."
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Miss Xu, how much did you write down?"
Xu Zhiqing lowered her head, her face was a little red, and said softly: "I've only memorized 90% of it, and I haven't understood the last index."
Khan, you really are a genius. If I continue talking, I will prove the Pythagorean Theorem to her. Enough is enough, I have completed my task, and she will understand the rest by herself.
He and Xu Zhiqing have also met several times, and this is the first time to see her blushing, and he couldn't help but sighed with a straight face: "Oh, let's just let it go, among the students I have taught, you are the slowest in comprehension It's gone."
Xu Zhiqing was not someone who was easily bluffed. He raised his head and laughed, "You don't blush when you tell lies. However, I'm curious. You are not smart. You don't know the knowledge of Arabic numerals. Where did you learn it?"
Damn, I'm not smart enough, which eye did you see? Lin Wanrong said angrily: "I'll tell you when you think I'm smart enough. I'm hungry, let's eat."
Xu Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, then giggled coquettishly, her plump delicate body shook violently, she couldn't even straighten her waist...
